Bebionic

Bebionic is a type of myoelectric prosthetic hand developed and manufactured by Steeper Group, a British company specializing in prosthetic and orthotic devices. These hands are designed to mimic the natural appearance and function of a human hand, providing amputees with a high degree of dexterity and grip strength.

Bebionic hands use advanced robotics and sensors to respond to muscle signals detected in the residual limb. These signals, known as electromyography (EMG) signals, are interpreted by the hand's internal computer to control its various grips and movements. Different muscle contractions trigger different pre-programmed grip patterns, allowing users to perform a range of tasks such as grasping objects, typing, and manipulating small items.

Key features of Bebionic hands typically include:

• Multiple Articulating Digits: Each finger and thumb can move independently, allowing for a variety of grip patterns.
• Proportional Control: The strength and speed of the grip can be adjusted based on the strength of the muscle signals.
• Customizable Grip Patterns: Users can often customize the pre-programmed grips to suit their individual needs and preferences.
• Durable Construction: Designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
• Cosmetic Glove Options: Available in various skin tones to provide a natural appearance.

Bebionic hands represent a significant advancement in prosthetic technology, offering improved functionality and quality of life for individuals with upper limb amputations. While the technology is constantly evolving, Bebionic has become a recognized brand in the field of myoelectric prosthetics.
